The overall goal of this procedure is to optically control a neuronal protein's function using a genetically encoded, unnatural amino acid in neurons. This method can help answer key questions about the contribution of a specific neuronal protein

Here, a procedure to selectively activate a neuronal protein with a short pulse of light by genetically encoding a photo-reactive unnatural amino acid into a target neuronal protein expressed in neurons in culture or in vivo is presented.
